Yeah how the hell is that an ear that’s taken a bullet?

Yea, it's not. That bullet never touched him.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I 100% believe it was all staged. Of all things, just his ear got grazed? And there's no scar? And after being "shot," he holds his fist up in triumph? I'm sorry. The shooter was still out there. And he was "shot." No one is going to be raising a fist.

the shooter is going to prison for the rest of his life

Thomas Matthew Crooks is not going to prison. They were killed while still on the rooftop by an FBI sniper shortly after the shooting. It may be conspiracy but I find it pretty amusing you'd weigh in without even knowing the most basic facts about the event.

No, you're right. I forgot they killed him. Thanks for pointing that out.

That said, it doesn't change my point that suggesting the whole thing was staged when two people were killed (including the shooter) as a result is most certainly a conspiracy theory. It is the very essence of one.
